That gap is necessary if you have the top of the rear bumper sitting right on the rear crossmember. If you take off your rear bumper you will see that the rear crossmember has a piece of styrofoam on top to fill the gap between the crossmember and the plastic 'step' area on the factory bumper. All-Pro ramps their bumper up at an angle just before the door to close the gap (other manufactures shape the bumper differently but achieve the same look). Demello has chosen to leave the deck flat and close the gap right where the body ends. Being done like this will give you a much larger flat 'step' area than any of the other bumpers. The reason it takes so long to do a rear bumper is becuase it's weird back there. The frame and crossmemeber and the way the body works behind those big plastic corners...not very 'mod' friendly. 
This is all my opinion based on taking off my rear bumper and analyzing what options there are back there. |
I also think that with the finished powder-coated or painted product you'd be very unlikely to notice that gap at all ... just my .02
ohhhhh, I almost fotgot ... GREAT looking bumper !!!
